datasets


DEFAULT

  Is very similar to SET DEF, it enables setting defaults for any
  component of Vax/VMS file names (node, disk, directory, file
  name, file type and version number) and also of VM/CMS file
  names (file name, file type and file mode).

  This command can not be issued from within a dataset subsection.

  Format:

  % DEFAULT file_specification

  Examples:

  % DEF
  % DEF 'VAXODIE::'
  %default .GARFLIB

  The first example shows the current default, the second tells
  Garfield that it should try to find the files on the node called
  VAXODIE (note the quotes, the colons are separators and would be
  discarded without the quotes). The last example ensures that the
  libraries to be read and written have extension GARFLIB.

DELETE

  Marks a member in a dataset for removal. Removing members physically
  from a dataset is done by %PURGE. The %RECOVER instruction will undo
  a %DELETE. Both the member and the type may be wildcards (a * matches
  every string).

  Format:

  %DELETE dsname member [type]

DUMP-HELP-FILE

  Prints the complete contents of the help file, this command does
  not exist on Vax computers.

  Beware ... this command will generate a huge amount of output !

EXIT

  Leaves a dataset subsection. You enter a dataset subsection by
  typing only a % sign with further arguments. Within such a section,
  no other subsections may be entered, neither may you leave the
  calling section from within the subsection.

  Format:

  EXIT

INDEX

  Produces a list of members in a dataset. The member and type, if you
  give them at all, may be of the wildcard type (a * matches any number
  of every character) and only the members that match both will be in
  the list.

  Format:

  %INDEX dsname [member] [type]

LIST

  Types the contents of some member to the output. You may optionally
  request listing of only one type of member, note however that both
  the member and the type may be of the wildcard type (a * matches
  any string).

  Format:

  %LIST dsname [member] [type]

PACK-HELP-FILE

  Packs the readable help file into a direct access file which is used
  by the on-line help utility. There should be no need to execute this
  command at CERN. Elsewhere, it has to be executed only once when a
  new release of the help file is distributed.

  The VMS help utility is used on Vax computers. This instruction will
  therefore create a help library rather than a direct access dataset
  on such devices.

  Before this command is executed, one has to ensure that the readable
  (or raw) help file is available. It is distributed as:

  CMS:                 GARFIELD RAWHELP
  Apollo, Cray, Sun:   help_raw$garfield
  Vax:                 GARFIELD.HLP (accessed as HELP_RAW$GARFIELD)

  This command is not executed if a direct access help file exists
  when the command is entered, except on Vax where a new version of
  the library is generated.

PURGE

  This instruction removes deleted members from a dataset. No recovery
  is possible unless you made a backup yourself. Member and type may
  not be specified.

  Format:

  %PURGE dsname

RECOVER

  Recovers deleted members from a dataset that has not yet been purged.
  Both the member and the type may be of the wildcard type (a * matches
  every string).

  Format:

  %RECOVER dsname member [type]
